Full Arch Dental Implants in Dayton, OH

A full arch of implant-supported teeth replaces every tooth on the top, the bottom, or both, anchored to your jaw so they stay put. You eat what you want. You laugh without covering your mouth. Nothing comes out at night to sit in a cup on the counter.

Dr. Chase and the team at Summit Dental Studio do this work every week, right here in Dayton, OH. Dr. Chase plans, places, and restores every case himself, so you work with the same dentist from your very first visit all the way through your final restoration. Some patients come in already knowing the terms: All-on-4, TeethXpress, same-day teeth. Others come in after years of failing teeth or dentures that never fit right, wondering if anything can actually be done. Both are welcome here. If you've been told it can't be done, we've heard that before, and we'd love the chance to take a closer look.

You'll find us at 8051 Washington Village Dr, Unit B. To start with a consultation, or just a few questions, call (937) 977-1818.

Quick Takeaways

• Full arch options here include All-on-Four and TeethXpress, plus remote anchorage implants for patients with severe bone loss.
• Whether you're a good fit and how long your treatment will take gets figured out at your exam, with real imaging, not guessed at over the phone.
• When you come in, bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have coverage, any recent X-rays, and a list of your current medications.
• Your next step is a consultation where we take a close look, walk you through what we find, and give you a clear plan with a real number attached to it.

How Full Arch Implants Work

It's just four phases, start to finish. Here's what each one looks like from your side of the chair.

1. The consultation and 3D scan

You settle in, and we take care of the rest. We take pain-free digital x-rays, do a 3D facial scan, and use a small intraoral camera so you can see on screen exactly what we see. Then we talk through your health history and what you're hoping to get out of this.

2. Digital treatment planning

Before anything happens in your mouth, Dr. Chase maps out your entire case on screen. Implant positions, your bite, how the new teeth will look in your face. This is where a complex case gets figured out, carefully, before a single instrument is picked up. We walk you through the plan in plain language and answer whatever comes up. You can learn more about Dr. Chase and his background when you're ready.

3. Surgery day

Dr. Chase removes any remaining teeth that need to go and places the implants exactly where the plan calls for them. If your case needs bone grafting to give the implants a solid foundation, he handles that here too. Your comfort is taken care of with oral conscious sedation or IV sedation, whichever is the right fit for you. Most patients doze through the whole appointment and remember very little of it.

4. Your teeth

Because we plan everything digitally and print restorations right here in the office, a full set of teeth can often be placed on your new implants the same day. That set is what you go home with while your bone heals and grows around the implants over the following months. Once everything is solid, Dr. Chase places your final arch, shaped and shaded to fit your face. From that first consultation to the last appointment, it's the same doctor and the same practice the whole way through.

What a Full Arch Changes Day to Day

• You eat normally again. Implant-anchored teeth handle steak, apples, corn on the cob. No cutting food into small pieces, no scanning the menu for the one thing that feels safe.
• Nothing slips. The arch is anchored to implants in your jaw, not resting on your gums, so it stays put when you talk, laugh, or eat. A fixed upper arch also leaves the roof of your mouth uncovered, which means food actually tastes the way it should.
• It looks like you. We design the teeth around your face, not off a shelf. Shape, shade, and proportion are all chosen deliberately, so the result looks natural, not like a set of teeth that could belong to anyone.
• It's built to last. You may have come across ads for same-day teeth around Dayton. Implants are a long-term solution when they are planned carefully, placed well, and looked after. Because Dr. Chase handles the planning, the surgery, and the final restoration, your whole case stays with one doctor from start to finish.

Who Full Arch Implants Are Right For

Most people who come in asking about this arrive from one of a few familiar places. You may recognize yours.

You're losing, or have already lost, a whole arch of teeth

Widespread decay, advanced gum disease, teeth that keep breaking no matter what you do. When repairs stop holding, a full arch replaces the whole thing instead of patching it one tooth at a time.

Your dentures have never really worked

Slipping at the wrong moment, sore spots, adhesive, a shrinking list of foods you'll actually eat in public. If that's your daily life, a fixed full arch is built to change it. If you'd rather keep something you can take out, an implant-retained denture might be a better fit. The FAQ section further down the page touches on how the two compare.

You've been told you don't have enough bone for dental implants

This is the one we hear most often, and it's usually not the end of the road. When the jaw bone has thinned out, there are still options. Dr. Chase trained specifically in remote anchorage implants, including pterygoid and zygomatic techniques. These place the implants into denser bone in other parts of the skull, bypassing the areas where bone has been lost. Bone and sinus grafting is another path for some patients.

A note on timing and candidacy

If you have an active infection, uncontrolled gum disease, or a health condition that isn't currently stable, we take care of that first before moving forward. Heavy smoking makes healing harder, and we'll be upfront with you about what that means for your outcome. And if only part of your mouth is the problem, a single implant, a bridge, or more targeted treatment might actually serve you better. We'd rather tell you that honestly than recommend something bigger than you need.

What to Expect From Your Dental Implants Timeline

Every case moves at its own pace, but the steps are consistent. Here is what to expect.

• Consultation: One visit. You leave with a clear plan, a real number, and answers to your questions.
• Surgery day: Any remaining teeth that need to come out are removed, the implants are placed, and in many cases a full set of teeth goes in the same day. Plan on a longer appointment, and arrange a ride home if you are being sedated.
• The first two weeks: This is the recovery window. Things will be sore and swollen, and soft foods are your best friend. The next section covers exactly how to take care of yourself during this time.
• Healing: Over the next several months, your bone gradually grows around and bonds to the implants. You won't feel this happening, but it is the most important part of the process. Follow-up visits let us confirm everything is on track.
• Final restoration: Once healing is complete, your permanent arch goes in. This is the appointment most patients say they will never forget.

At your consultation, we will map out your dates around your schedule and your goals. And because

Getting Ready for Treatment & Caring for Your New Teeth Afterwards

Before surgery

Arrange a ride home if you're being sedated, and plan to take the rest of that day easy. Stock up on soft foods you actually enjoy: soups, eggs, yogurt, smoothies.

Fill any prescriptions ahead of time so you're not making stops on the way home. Let us know about every medication and supplement you take, especially blood thinners, and follow the eating instructions we give you before your sedation appointment.

The first week

The first week is mostly about rest and being gentle. Stick to soft foods, rinse carefully as directed, and use ice to keep swelling down. Avoid smoking and straws while you heal, both can interfere with recovery.

If something feels off or you have a question, no matter how small, just reach out to us.

Long term

Once you're healed, caring for your new teeth is straightforward. Brush twice a day, clean around the implants the way we show you, and come in for your regular hygiene visits so we can keep an eye on the implants, your bite, and the fit.

Implants that are well cared for can last for decades.

Cost, Insurance, and Financing For Dental Implants in Dayton

Full arch implant treatment is a real investment, and the final number depends on your specific case. A few things that affect the cost: how many implants you need, whether you're replacing one arch or both, your bone health and whether grafting or remote anchorage is part of your plan, sedation, and the materials used in your final restoration.

We work with most major dental plans, and we offer financing so you can make monthly payments rather than coming up with the full amount at once. Most plans cover only part of implant treatment, and we'll go through your specific benefits with you so you know exactly where you stand.

If cost is what's been holding you back, bring it up early in the consultation. We'll build a plan around what actually works for you, including spreading treatment out in phases when that makes sense.

Why Patients Across the Dayton Metro Come to Summit Dental Studio

We trained for the hard cases. Dr. Chase earned his DDS from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, then spent years seeking out the best implantology training he could find across North and South America. He specializes in remote anchorage implants, techniques that reach past areas of severe bone loss to find solid bone elsewhere. That's why patients who were told no somewhere else end up here.

Everything happens in one place, with one doctor. You may have already seen ads for same-day dental implants around Dayton. What's different here is that Dr. Chase is your surgeon, your treatment planner, and your restoring dentist. He uses 3D facial scanning, digital treatment planning, and in-house 3D printing to map and build your case from start to finish. Your care never gets handed off.

You'll feel it from the first visit. We run on time, we don't rush you, and we're never too busy for your questions. You come in as a patient and leave as a friend. You may also meet Kubo, Dr. Chase's dog, who has a habit of supervising around the office.

This is his hometown. Dr. Chase grew up in this area, and he considers it a privilege to serve the people here. That's not a tagline. It's just true.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

It comes down to how many implants are holding the arch in place. All-on-4 uses four implants, positioned at angles to get the most out of the bone you have. All-on-6 uses six, which gives extra support for certain bite situations or bone conditions. There's no universal right answer. Dr. Chase will look at your scan and walk you through which option makes sense for your specific case.

Can I really get implants if I have severe bone loss?

Often, yes. Bone grafting can help rebuild areas that have thinned out over time. And for cases where there simply isn't enough bone in the usual spots, Dr. Chase trained specifically in remote anchorage techniques, including pterygoid and zygomatic implants, which anchor into denser bone further back in the jaw or cheekbone. Severe bone loss changes the approach. It doesn't always mean implants are off the table.

Are snap-in dentures the same as full arch implants?

Not quite. Snap-in dentures, also called implant-supported dentures, attach to implants for stability but you still take them out to clean them. They're more secure than traditional dentures and usually cost less than a fixed arch. A fixed full arch is permanently attached and works the closest to natural teeth. Both are good options depending on what fits your life, and we'll go over the differences with you at your consultation.

Will I leave with teeth on surgery day?

Many patients do. We plan your case digitally ahead of time and print restorations right here in the office, so same-day teeth are often possible. Whether it works for you depends on how the implants seat during surgery and how much bone is available to support them. We'll know more once we've done your exam.

How do I know a dentist is qualified to do this?

Ask good questions. Who actually performs the surgery, and who designs and places the final teeth? What did their implant training look like after dental school? Do they handle complex bone cases in-house, or do they refer those out? Can you see their own before-and-after work? Ask us those same questions. We welcome them.

Do you see patients from outside Dayton?

Yes. Patients come to us from all across the greater Dayton area, and we're easy to get to from Washington Village. We'd love to find a time that works for you.
